Client Quilts • April 2020
Happy spring!! I know we are in a weird place, with so many things being shut down, but I hope you’re well and finding things to create. I just started a new quilt last week, and my mom and I are starting to make masks for our family.
I wanted to share with you a couple of quilts that I quilted since my last blog post.
This is incredible!!! Every piece is needle turned, and done beautifully by Beth. The pattern is by Susan Smith called St Neot Band Sampler.
Seriously impressed with this quilt!!
Most of this quilt is quilted with a variation of circles, swirls, and feathers…with some lines in some of the appliqué pieces. I used Linda from The Quilted Pineapple’s 8” Edge ruler to do the lines.
Beth provided some bamboo batting, and I used light cream 30 tex A&E Perma Core thread.
I didn’t quilt in every appliqué piece, I don’t think it’s necessary.
She wanted some flowers quilted in the mix, too, and so I decided to make the center of the flower one of my overlapping circles.
Next, this fun quilt made by Sherry, for her kids that are graduating college next month.
The pattern is by Janice Holden from LYTM Designs, and is called Team Spirit.
I used a white 30 tex A&E Perma Core thread and my favorite Winline 8020 batting.
Sherry had the words and logo machine embroidered onto the quilt, which is great!!! When people ask if I can quilt words, I can, but they aren’t very noticeable. So, I always suggest machine embroidered words. Plus they look classy.
I used my Squared design to quilt this. It’s available in my shop or at Urban Elementz.
Squared is such a fun universal design!
Next…Breeze, a design by Patricia Ritter and I, is on sale this week over at Urban Elementz. It’s already discounted, no code necessary.
I quilted this quilt for Madi Hastings last fall, for International Quilt Market, it’s called Maiden of the Sea. I used Breeze in the background behind the mermaid. It has such great movement. Love it!! For more details check out the blog post for this quilt.
Excited to see this design quilted on more quilts!! I’m so grateful to see our co-designs and my solo designs on so many different quilts throughout the world. Thanks for your support!!
Here is a quick look at my newest quilt. Pattern is by Emily Dennis, and is called Jelly Rings Quilt. Yes, it’s a jellyroll pattern!! It’s a fun one, too. These are 4 of 30 blocks, and I’m using the Happy Go Lucky jellyroll from Bonnie and Camille. I’ve been holding onto it for awhile. Excited to see it come together.
This is what is on my machine for the week! Pattern is Cool Cars by Sew Kind of Wonderful, and was made by Sherry. She loved the quilting that Jenny from Sew Kind of Wonderful did, so I’m using that for quilting inspiration.
Thanks for coming by! I hope you are each happy and healthy. Take care, Leisha
